Is there already a law in Georgia that requires vehicles to use the left lane for passing only? That’s not exactly what the law says, according to Sgt. Stephen Wilbanks of the Hall County Sheriff’s Office. Here’s what Section 40-6-184 of the Uniform Traffic Code does say: “On roads, streets, or highways with two or more lanes allowing for movement in the same direction, no person shall continue to operate a motor vehicle in the most left-hand lane at less than the maximum lawful speed limit once such person knows or should reasonably know that he is being overtaken in such lane from the rear by a motor vehicle traveling at a higher rate of speed, except when such motor vehicle is preparing for a left turn.”
